Hooky

Before we make our way
to work today
all double-coffee
droop-body slack-jawed
before it’s outlawed
let’s play hooky
maybe read books
Netflix and chill
chill some wine
eat some chili
silly-dance
in the kitchen
to some bitchin songs
we can sing along
cuddle in a huddle
while the dogs pile on
our new lifestyle
of sit and stay
play the day away
like it’s our last
think fast and
flip that frown
it’s time
you know
to slow
down.
